I knew a house manager that worked for a billionaire and she made six figures. She lived on his estate, used his private plane and spent her time between the main residence and the summer home in Hawaii or winter home in Aspen. We all thought it was a dream job but after 18yrs she got burnt out and no longer works there. She tells me it is very demanding, stressful and sometimes not so rewarding.

I'm sure she really had to suffer for her job and be on call day and night to serve the needs of the family. She saved her money and finally got out and living quietly.

It depends on who you work for I have a house manager job and I love the guy I work for and hope to continue for time to come

Emma Jacobs did a good job as narrator in this video.

The irony is that back in the day those workers were paid slightly above slave wages but now butlers are paid between £100k to £300k from Russia, Saudi Arabia to China

Those household staff were paid just slightly above a slave wage.

The household staff were originally young teenagers getting experience that looked good on their work history and also often getting to travel. You also have to take into account that for their skills and age, food and shelter would be 80 percent of their income in another job.

I'm talking about employment in the great houses. The life of a maid of all work was much bleaker.

My mother’s family had maids. She brought one to my father’s house. But as the complexities of security clearances grew, the maid was let go. I don’t remember the maid, but I meet her later in life.

I wish I was wealthy. I'd be so happy if I was rich and I promise I would be a good person too.

You would but your kids or grandkids possibly won't be . Ive been around wealthy ... The one who made the wealth remembers his or her humble beginnings . His or her children or descendants act like entitled elites .

I've found it difficult in my part of the country to find a decent house manager. Fortunately the other members of the staff have been able to step up and manage the affairs the manager would normally do. But the search continues for a house mangaer.

I think I have the skills and qualities you seek Frank. I’m a highly experienced individual and have the references to support this. Of course I’m fully police checked

That’s harsh and totally wrong. How dare you.

Its why the commonman and the aristocracy get on so well! There is a respect between the two of us its the middle and upper middle class who have brought about the ruin and decay of the UK worse as they're nearly all bourgeois bohemian metropolitan liberal-socialists! These people are why the poor are poorer and the aristocracy are assist rich and cash poor! Worse still as they were a big employer of the poor!

Don't know whether to laugh or cry, happy I'm not in THAT situation on either side. Much less 'worries' for me. And at the end they'll just end up the same as me; in a furnace or 6 feet under.

Being in service isn't a "profession" - it's an occupation. Professions are: Law, Medicine, University and Clergy.

@Austin - Your condescension with the term “being on service” is an old, outdated term and insinuates that these people aren’t educated. If you watched the video in it’s entirety, they explained that people today hold bachelor’s degrees; chefs, house managers, etc. Since you say you “grew up with servants” (again, that’s a demeaning, old term), we are explaining to you and say that these people are in fact educated. Your family relied on them and you should respect their positions as professional. Most of us are not born with great wealth to have someone else constantly washing our underwear.
